In the passage from 1 Kings, ‘pisseth against the wall’ is an idiom for ‘men’. No actual piss is involved.
The passage from Malachi about smearing dung on faces is an expression meaning ‘disgraced’, in much the same sense that referring to a drunk person as ‘shitfaced’ doesn’t require actual shit on an actual face.
It helpful to read entire chapters, not just verses.

Lol, even as metaphors these verses portray a disturbing person because he (God) could have used different (normal) metaphors than shit and donkey orgasms.
Imagine if someone said to you "Your posts are like donkey diarrhea smeared all over your face while a mule is rubbing her wet lusty cunt on your nose." Would you not think that the person is disturbing for using such metaphors?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Interestingly, when I had to read the Bible in Catholic school, it was a bowdlerized edition. All the naughty bits had been excised.

The first bit of the song of solomon reaches literal and allegorical climax in the woods. In contrast to using disturbing vocabulary, it employs then-euphemisms for some pretty x-rated stuff in a deeply committed relationship. God might be an incel, but his ghostwriters sure as shit weren't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

God didn’t use
any metaphors in the Bible. The metaphors were made by the
people who wrote the Bible, and they WERE ‘normal’ metaphors for the time and place.
Do you think someone is disturbed if they call you a son of a bitch (implying that your dad shagged a dog) or suggests that you eat shit and die? Ever called someone a scumbag (metaphor for a used condom)? That’s pretty fucking disturbed.

In the Early & High Middle Ages, to be known as a "bastard" was completely respectable ("Bastard of Orleans" or "William the Bastard"); refer to a nobleman as being "knightly" and he would probably punch you in the face.
